<p>The counselors are soooo nice at MICA. Mine was so excited when I told her I sent in my deposit today. They are very helpful. You can get advanced placement through AP credits (must score a 4 or a 5, I think). As far as personalized placement, I was told scholarship finalists get priority placement but I’m sure they will work with any student the best they can.</p>
<p>Not sure about SAIC. But I do know that even with my acceptance letter and stuff, they didn’t send me a handwritten note or random helpful emails like the MICA counselor did.</p>
